    Wow. He took his first photo in 1979, and his last in 1997. Just the last to two digits reversed. Interesting.

    Wow, that was one very cool guy. Didn’t deserve to die that way, may he rest in peace.

    WOW, I love this but I always start something then my head wanders off and I forget about the first project. I have about 100 in my head at any one time #needtostopprocrastinating!
